My Mute Wife

Looking at the messages that kept popping up on her phone, Lexie replied, “I’m really fine, I’m just a bit tired, I’ll sleep first.”

Then whatever Myles sent, she stopped replying.

After a long while, Myles sent, “You take a good rest.”

After that there was finally no movement.

Lexie was relieved, but her heart was as uncomfortable.

If Myles came at this time, in case he met Alan, or if someone with an intention to see him, it would only cause trouble.

Putting down her phone, Lexie got out of bed and poured water.

A door opening sound came, the sound of high heels stepping on the floor with a sharp sound, “How come you pour water for yourself, Mrs. Howard? Alan didn’t even hire an escort to wait on you?”

Lexie didn’t even need to raise her head to know it was Edith.

She was hospitalized, how could Edith let go such a rare opportunity to taunt her?

[What are you doing here?]

“Don’t be so wary, I just heard that you are hospitalized, so I came to care about you, after all, you are my sister,” Edith opened her mouth with a sneer, “Even dad is now asking me to be polite to you, so in the future our family will have to reply on you.”

Edith walked to the table, “I’ll pour you water.”

Saying that, in front of Lexie, she handed a glass of water to Lexie, “Here, drink it.”

The water was still hot.

Lexie nodded, not really thinking that Edith was that kind.

Sure enough, the moment she was about to take over the glass, Edith let go of her hand early.

With a clang, the glass fell to the floor, splitting in pieces while hot water splashed everywhere.

Lexie failed to dodge, the splashing hot water scalded her feet. In pain, she held the corner of the table, and she barely stood table.

“Yikes! Sorry, why don’t you hold it steady, sister?”

Edith exclaimed at Lexie in a do-gooder manner, “Got scalded? That’s why I said, don’t drink that hot water, let me get you a new glass of cool water.”

[What the hell are you doing?]

“What am I doing? Don’t you know it?” Edith’s face changed, “You think I have forgotten the fact you pushed me into the water, right, mute?”

Lexie’s face went pale and her pupils contracted violently.

How could she forget that Edith was vengeful, she had made a fool of her in front of so many guests at the birthday banquet, there was no way she would just let this go.

As she froze, Edith had already taken a glass of cold water.

The warm sun outside the window shone in, illuminating the glass brilliantly, but the cold light glistened in Edith’s eyes.

Lexie subconsciously raised her arm to shield her face.

“Ah…”

The expected coolness did not come, instead, Edith’s scream startled Lexie. She looked up, but saw Edith’s arm being twisted by a short-haired woman with one hand, bending her waist and crying out in misery, and the glass of water in her hand was also taken away.

“Who are you? How did you get in here?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“With doctors like you who abuse your patients, it’s no wonder the doctor-patient relationship is so tense.”

A clear, cold voice came from the woman’s mouth, she twisted Edith’s arm with great ease, not allowing the person under her hand struggling break free.

“Ah…”

Edith screamed miserably, “I’ll call the police if you don’t let go!”

“If you struggle any more, your arm is going to be ruined.”

“You don’t scare me, I’m the doctor, I …”

Edith was brutal at first, trying to move twice, a ‘click’ sound like celery snapping obviously rang out, she froze for a moment, then screamed out in misery, “Ah-”

Lexie’s heart jumped as she watched, and she was gesturing with her hands to get the short-haired woman to let go of Edith.

She was Peter’s precious daughter, if something happened to her, ordinary people could not bear the consequences.

“What are you doing?”

A male voice came from outside the door, and Lexie jerked her head up to see Kevin.

Kevin walked in hurriedly.

Meanwhile, the short-haired woman had let go and dropped Edith.

Edith stumbled twice and was held up by Kevin who had rushed in, “What’s going on?”

“Kevin! I think my arm is broken,” Edith’s head was covered in cold sweat from the pain, tears came out of her eyes, and she fell into Kevin’s arms and cried out in pain, “It hurts.”

Kevin rushed at the short-haired woman and said in a cold voice, “Who sent you here? Do you know that intentionally hurting someone is punishable by several years?”

[She didn’t!]

Lexie hurriedly stopped in front of the short-haired woman and shook her head at Kevin.

[She helped me.]

Kevin froze slightly, incredulous.

At this moment, Edith in his arms was sobbing louder, “Kevin, I’m dying of pain, send me to the orthopedic department to find the doctor, my arm is really broken.”

“Let’s go to the psychiatric unit first.”

Lexie was still frozen when she was suddenly pulled by a hand, the short-haired woman shielding her, expressionless, “A crazy person who splashes hot water on a patient can also be a doctor?”

“Splash hot water?”

Kevin glanced at the mess under the table through the corner of his eyes, and also saw the red swelling of the burns on Lexie’s feet, and immediately understood everything, so he pushed Edith away with a livid face.

“Ah!” Edith held her dislocated arm and screamed miserably, tears soared out of her eyes, but she was still gritting her teeth and weaseling, “Kevin, don’t believe them, they are together, talking nonsense!”

“I know in my heart whether it’s nonsense or not,” Kevin looked at her coldly.

Ever since he had seen how sinister Edith was at the Howard family’s fish pond, he knew that Edith was a tough nut, and this incident today was definitely Edith’s handiwork again.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, Edith cried in anger, “Kevin, why are you like this …”

“If you have time to howl here, why don’t you go find a doctor to treat you bones?” the short-haired woman gave Edith a meaningful glance, “There will be after-effects even if they are attached after a long time.”

Upon hearing these words, Edith’s face turned white with fear and stuttered, “You … you wait to receive a lawyer’s letter!”

Dropping those words, she scrambled away, clutching her ‘crippled’ arm, hastily.

As soon as she left, Kevin hurriedly pulled Lexie, “Let me see where it hurts.”

Lexie sat on the edge of the bed and carefully lifted up her trouser legs, then revealed a large red swelling on the surface of her feet from the burns and rows of blisters.

Kevin frowned, “You bear with it for now, I’ll go get the medicine.”

Kevin left in a hurry.

After a ‘bang’ of a closed door, only Lexie was left in the ward, together with the short-haired strange woman.

It was then that Lexie got a good look at her.

She was quite taller than Lexie, in an army green jumpsuit, patent leather Martin boots, with bright features, and a cool and very spirited temperament.

She said, “My name is Flora Miller, Myles sent me here.”

Lexie froze for a moment.

Flora lifted the fruit and flowers from the corner she had brought and raised them towards Lexie, “He said you are sick and hospitalized, but he couldn’t show up himself, so he asked me to come and see you.”
